This is going to sound weird but...
Yesterday, I had a pretty decent day. It was the first time in months I was able to hold conversations without stuttering, searching for words and spacing out. It was great. I realized about halfway through the day that I didn't take my vitamins. This is the first day in months (since I started taking them) that I forgot to take them.
So, fast-forward to today. I didn't get that much sleep last night...if any at all...but when I "woke up" I had a conversation with my sister. I wasn't foggy, it was easy to get out what I was saying, etc. I took my vitamins...BAM!! 10 minutes later, brain fog. I can't talk without stuttering, I can't come up with ideas and things to say, spacing out...what the heck? My whole mind-state changed in a negative way after taking the vitamins.
Is it at all possible that one or all of these vitamins I'm taking are causing this? I started taking B12, One A Day and Vitamin C in late October or early November. That is when the brain fog while playing video games, being on the computer and watching TV started. I didn't add the Omega 3 and B-Complex until recently, so that wouldn't be the problem.
So again...is it AT ALL possible that the vitamins are doing this to me? I've absolutely never heard of vitamins having a negative effect on someone...unless they overdose or they are allergic to one of the additives/fillers in the vitamin.
What are your thoughts on this?

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
